Ghanaian actor C Confion, who passed away last year, is set to be laid in state ahead of his funeral on January 11 in Buokrom, Kumasi.
The 28-year-old's mortal remains arrived in an ambulance at his family house the evening before the funeral.
The bereaved mother, father and other sympathisers were at the family house when the ambulance carrying C Confion's corpse arrived.
It was a sad scene as the deceased actor's father bid farewell to his son for him to be laid in state ahead of the funeral.
Several family members and sympathisers were seen wailing uncontrollably as the ambulance prepared to move to the funeral grounds in Buokrom, where the Kumawood community is expected to gather and mourn their late colleague.
Before the ambulance left the house, the family gave room for libation to be poured as custom demanded.
The actor was a shining star in Kumawood, having cut his teeth under Dr Likee's supervision.
Unlike Kyekyeku, 39/40, C Confion, also known as Bright Owusu's legacy, was cut short after he succumbed to a long-existing health battle on December 20 at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
His sudden demise sent a shockwave across the nation as celebrities and fans thronged social media to weigh in on his short-lived legacy.
